Edge Crush Test on Corrugated Box

The Edge Crush Test is simply a method used to determine the
"stacking" or "crushing" of a piece of corrugated board.
The test is conducted to determine the force that will crush a container board
standing on an edge.

The ECT will determine the probable compression strength
of the container made from the board.
